Due to the Outer Endless Sea's trade fair, Phantasmal Spirit City's standards for entering and exiting the city had been raised. However, there were still many low-level cultivators in Phantasmal Spirit City who had heard the news and rushed to the city ahead of time. Hence, when Lu Ping and the others entered the city, although there were high-level cultivators in the Core Forging Realm and above everywhere, the low-level Blood Condensation and Blood Refining Realm cultivators still occupied more than half of the city's population.
Tian Qin Laozu led the group to a place where they could rent a cave abode. This was a place that the Fantasy Spirit City had already prepared for the various overseas sects to rest. Under the guidance of a Core Forging stage cultivator, the group arrived at a cave abode.
After everyone had settled down, Tian Qin Laozu instructed everyone to familiarize themselves with the Fantasy Spirit City. Three days later, the Fantasy Spirit City's auction officially began. Everyone gathered in the cave abode, and then Tian Qin Laozu disappeared without a trace.
Enlightened Master Xuanxu and Enlightened Master Xuansen seemed to have a plan. After bidding farewell to everyone, they left the cave abode.
Enlightened Master Xuantian and the others discussed for a while and decided to go to the Fantasy Spirit City to see the prosperity of the Eastern Sea. The group of seven, including Second Senior Sister Li Xuanru, were about to leave the cave abode when they saw that Lu Ping had no intention of touring the city. Li Xuanru asked curiously, "Ninth Junior Brother, why aren't you going?"
Lu Ping smiled. "Senior Brothers and Sisters, please go ahead. I still have an appointment with someone here, so I'll have to stay here for a while."
Li Xuanru wanted to ask who it was, but she thought of Yin Xuanchu. She knew that it was inappropriate for Yin Xuanchu to mingle with everyone, so she nodded and said, "Then we'll go first."
After everyone left, Lu Ping took out a Sound Transmission Sword from his storage ring and said something into it. Then the Sound Transmission Sword turned into a stream of light and disappeared from the Fantasy Spirit City.
Lu Ping waited in the cave abode for a while and found that no Sound Transmission Sword returned. He knew that Chi Lianying and the others had not entered the Fantasy Spirit City yet, so he left the cave abode and casually called for a guide. He casually tipped the guide a mid-grade spirit stone, then followed the joyful guide into the Fantasy Spirit City.
Lu Ping had been to the Northern Alliance's Qianyuan City, and he had also been to Skyrend's Silver Sword City on Silver Sword Island. These were all big cities in the entire East China Sea. The Fantasy Spirit City was known as the second biggest city in the East China Sea. Whether it was in terms of size, quantity and quality of cultivators, or the collection of cultivation resources, it surpassed the largest Qianyuan City that Lu Ping had seen before.
Under the guidance of the guide, Lu Ping first replenished his almost shriveled Spirit Grass Pouch in various shops that sold Spirit Grass. Lu Ping now had two or three million low-grade spirit stones. These spirit stones could play a negligible role in Lu Ping's cultivation, and it was difficult for Lu Ping to exchange these spirit stones for high-grade spirit stones, so he used them all to buy Spirit Grass.
Unfortunately, with the opening of the Fantasy Spirit City's Trade Fair, the prices of Spirit Grasses in the shops in the city also rose. Thousand Year Spirit Grasses were fine, but as long as it was 3000 Year Spirit Grasses, cultivators would have to pay High Grade Spirit Stones if they wanted to buy it.
Fortunately, the Fantasy Spirit City lived up to its name as one of the biggest cities in the East China Sea. The supply of Spirit Grass in the city was sufficient. Although the price was on the high side, if this was the North China Sea, Lu Ping would not know where to find so many Spirit Grass.
In just half a day, Lu Ping went in and out of shops that had been selling for dozens of years. He spent two million low-grade spirit stones, and Lu Ping had a total of more than 50 kinds of Spirit Grass. In addition, Lu Ping also spent nearly 100 high-grade spirit stones to buy more than 100 precious Spirit Grass of 3,000 years.
In less than half a day, the entire Fantasy Spirit City was filled with rumors that someone was crazily buying Spirit Grass. However, after some investigation, they discovered that the person buying Spirit Grass in these shops was not the same person, but seemed to be an unintentional act of several unrelated people.
However, the more attentive people soon discovered that something was wrong. Although the face of the cultivator buying Spirit Grass was different in each shop, at the same time, no one had ever bought a large amount of Spirit Grass in two shops at the same time.
The truth was suddenly revealed. A cultivator had changed his face and was constantly going in and out of the big shops to buy Spirit Grass. Moreover, he spent millions of spirit stones.
Even a late Core Forging Cultivator might not be able to do such a thing. According to the shopkeepers of these shops, the person who came was only a mid Core Forging Cultivator. However, his cultivation level was different. Some said he was at the fourth layer, some said he was at the fifth layer, and some even thought he was at the sixth layer. This caused the people who secretly investigated this large amount of Spirit Grass to be confused. In the end, they could only leave the matter unsettled.
In a rather hidden alley in the Fantasy Spirit City, a pale faced and weak cultivator looked at the unconscious guide boy in front of him. After erasing a part of the boy's memory, the weak cultivator thought for a moment and stuffed a mid-grade spirit stone into the boy's pocket. Then, he turned around and left.
After turning around, the weak scholar's body surged with waves of watery light. The weak scholar's clothes completely changed, and even his face became clear after a moment of blur. After the person walked out of the alley, Lu Ping, who had restored his true appearance, began to leisurely stroll around the Fantasy Spirit City.
Lu Ping had been careless today. Although the Fantasy Spirit City was rich in cultivation resources, it was a place where crooks mixed with honest folk. In addition, the Grand Assembly was about to begin, so who knew how many spies were secretly following and monitoring him.
Fortunately, Lu Ping's Spiritual Force was comparable to that of a ninth stage Core Forging cultivator. After entering the spirit herb shop for the third time, he discovered that something was wrong. Therefore, after leaving the shop, Lu Ping immediately got rid of the spies behind him. At the same time, he used the Art of Sea Deception to change his appearance. At the same time, he used an illusion technique to temporarily confuse the guide boy, making him think that Lu Ping's appearance hadn't changed. Only then did he start to enter the big shops again. At the same time, he deliberately bought fewer spirit herbs in each shop. Therefore, it took Lu Ping half a day to walk through some of the big shops.
Not long after Lu Ping left the alley, the guide boy woke up in a daze. He looked around and tried to remember why he was here. Suddenly, two cultivators walked into the alley.
A tall cultivator grabbed the collar of the guide and asked, "Where's that person from just now?"
The guide boy's face was full of fear. After hearing the person's shout, his eyes were full of confusion.
The other cultivator with an expressionless face suddenly stretched out his hand and patted the guide boy's head. Then he withdrew his hand and said, "It's useless. Today's memory has been erased."
The burly cultivator's face changed. He pushed the guide boy away and said with dissatisfaction, "What bad luck. It's not easy to find a fat sheep!"
The guide boy staggered back after being pushed by the burly cultivator. With a flick of his sleeve, the middle-grade Spirit Stone that Lu Ping had given him when he was unconscious fell out.
The guide boy became anxious and scrambled to grab the middle-grade Spirit Stone on the ground. However, he saw that the Spirit Stone on the ground suddenly flew up and fell into the burly cultivator's hand.
The burly cultivator murmured, "Damn it, I can't let this trip be in vain!"
The cold-faced cultivator looked at the burly cultivator with disdain and said, "Let's go! We still have to explain to the people above us. The situation in Phantom City is complicated now. It's not a place where people like us can behave atrociously. Be careful not to bump into an iron plate. "
The guide boy crawled on the ground. Seeing that the two had gone far away, he patted the dirt off his body and stood up. Then, he thought of something and took out another middle-grade Spirit Stone from a tattered storage bag. The guide boy was immediately as happy as before. After putting away the Spirit Stone, he skipped to the back of the alley.
Not long after the guide boy left, a figure suddenly flashed in the alley where the guide boy had been lying. This person looked in the direction where the guide boy had left, then looked at the exit of the alley. He snorted and said, "The people from the Overflowing Sea Gang are becoming more and more unscrupulous. If the Crystal Palace continues to indulge themselves, I'm afraid there will be forces that can't stand it and will come to teach them a lesson."
After the figure walked back into the shadows and disappeared, a breeze blew through the alley. Three cultivators with their faces covered in bamboo hats walked into the alley. When they arrived at the place where the guide boy had been, they paused for a moment and then walked into the depths of the alley.
Lu Ping was currently standing in front of a stall. He was casually flipping through some of the items placed on the ground and bargaining with an early-stage Core Forging Realm stall owner.
After a while, it seemed that Lu Ping could not reach an agreement with the stall owner. He shook his head and stood up helplessly. He turned around and inadvertently glanced at a luxurious carriage not far away.
It was this luxurious carriage that had suddenly stopped in front of a shop. Lu Ping did not care at first, but when the curtain of the luxurious carriage was lifted, he noticed something was wrong with it. So, he pretended to be interested in an item on the stall and began to bargain with the stall owner.
After the luxurious carriage stopped, a cultivator in linen clothes came down from the carriage. This cultivator in linen clothes also looked well-dressed, but he stood humbly beside the luxurious carriage. Then, he led the young man in linen clothes, who had a better bearing than him, out of the carriage. Then, the two of them walked into the shop one after another.
However, Lu Ping gradually frowned, "Shangguan Hao, why is he here? Didn't this person escape to the Middle Earth through his family's secret teleportation array before the Green Sea Snakes exterminated his family? The young man in linen clothes next to him seems to have a much higher status than him, but I don't know who he is. Is he an extraordinary person from the Middle Earth? "
Shangguan Hao was the Shangguan Hao who set up a trap in Qianyuan City to kill Lu Ping to vent his anger. After Lu Ping found out about it, with the help of Samling, he blocked the attack of Shangguan Hao, a Core Forging Stage cultivator. In the end, he attracted the attention of the Northern Alliance cultivators in Qianyuan City and had to retreat.
However, Shangguan Hao recognized Samling's identity as the Green Sea Snake during the battle. Although the Shangguan Family was later exterminated by the Green Sea Snakes, Shangguan Hao escaped alone. This time, he returned to the East Sea. Although he did not know that the Alchemist Lu Jiu was the current Lu Xuanping, the name of the Alchemist Lu Jiu was still there. If Shangguan Hao leaked the news of the Green Sea Snakes, the Shangguan Family's fate would be the same as that of the Listening Waves Island.
